Easy Gluten-Free & Vegan Rainbow Cupcakes

So, I was making a test-run cake for Donut’s first birthday (does everybody do this? no? just me? oops.) and had this awesome batch of batter that–well, needed to be baked to see if it rose right. Now, I have to admit, this was something I’d been wanting to try for a while. So, maybe this wasn’t all about testing the recipe for Donut. But then again, everyone needs some Easy Gluten-Free & Vegan Rainbow Cupcakes in their life at some point. Donut might as well get it now. Heh.

Honestly, these came together so well, I was surprised. It seemed like a really questionable idea at the time, but then, I couldn’t help myself. So, there’s that. But they did come out cute! And I would totally make these gf & vegan rainbow cupcakes again, although, I might try to do them with more pastel colors next time. That might be pretty, too.

Whatever, ultimately, what I wanted was a fine crumb (check), a bouncy top (check), and none of that gummy crap I’d been struggling with a couple of weeks ago (apparently just tossing an entire can of aquafaba into a recipe is NOT the way to a woman’s heart). So, now that I’ve worked this out, I’m thinking there might be a re-breathe in the life of cakes in my day…heh.
